IMHO, his actual intended message is "Look at me! I'd punch the offender out because I'm a tough guy and I do whatever I have to do, even if I get beaten up in the process" and acting as though that sort of playground mentality would WORK in the "real world" or for the usual victims - WOMEN.

I tried to explain to him that (obviously and naturally) he thinks like a MAN and apparently cannot fathom that women do NOT have the physical strength as men and also that the situation is FAR MORE COMPLICATED than he seems to think it is. He's talking about a situation that has virtually NOTHING to do with the typical situation of sexual harassment. It is more akin to RAPE, PURE uncomplicated RAPE, which, nearly all experts tell women to fight & run IF THEY CAN, but if they CANNOT and are overpowered, to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to survive, even if that means NOT fighting back. More rape victims' lives are saved by SMART THINKING and fighting back IF they know they'll be murdered otherwise or they have the OPPORTUNITY TO RUN, but to use their brains to figure out what will best help them LIVE, even if that requires passive submission so as not to be killed for resisting.

MEN simply have NO UNDERSTANDING of what it is truly like to be a weaker woman faced with sexual assault or harassment by someone with twice the strength or the power to DESTROY their lives & the lives of their families unless they ASK WOMEN and HEAR THEM. Sprout clearly has done neither else he'd not continue spouting off from his completely MALE POV.

Just as white people cannot truly understand what it's like to grow up black in America, men cannot understand what it's like to be female in a male dominated society either. (and it follows that women don't know what it's like to be men either)

they didn't say "Stop!' or "No" at the time? Some guys don't seem to get the message, even when it is clear that their advances are not wanted or appreciated. Or maybe they do get the message, but... more

A gentle no is as resolute and forceful as a bold, or an aggressive no. It doesn't mean proceed, or yes, or rape. No is no. It is sad when gropers like Trump, and Weinstein, or abusers like Lauer,... more
